Why Choose LFID

LFID is the only school in the New Delhi metropolitan area that predominantly offers a French-language education. In the early years, including kindergarten and primary school, the focus is on acquiring the French language, while also encouraging the practice of English. As students progress to middle school and high school, and once they have a solid grasp of the French language, the amount of English instruction increases, eventually comprising 40% of the curriculum within the International French Baccalaureate framework. By the end of their school journey, LFID students are proficient in both French and English and can be considered as bilingual.

The French maternelle school was conceptualized by educators inspired by the work of Maria Montessori and other pedagogical researchers. Maternelle school teachers are not mere classroom supervisors; maternal school is distinct from kindergarten. These educators are fully qualified teachers who follow the official French curriculum. Their focus from an early age is on socializing children, fostering their independence, and, through play, cultivating skills such as logic, mathematical reasoning, phonological awareness, and others essential for personal growth and fulfillment.

LFID hosts over 35 nationalities, creating a rich multilingual and multicultural environment. The top 5 nationalities of students are French, Indian, American, Canadian, and Belgian. This characteristic of LFID presents a genuine opportunity for its students, nurturing open-mindedness and readiness to embrace the world’s diversity and richness.

LFID is integrated into the network of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), which comprises 600 schools in 130 countries, providing education accredited by the French Ministry of National Education. LFID students engage in global exchanges within the AEFE network, participating in Model United Nations, sports tournaments, and educational immersion trips. This exceptional network offers LFID students opportunities for school exchanges during their schooling and support during the post-baccalaureate orientation process through the active AEFE alumni network.

The official curriculum of the French education system provides a rigorous framework for children to develop structured thinking. French education fosters critical thinking by emphasizing students’ capacity to argue and substantiate their claims. The importance of handwriting, written compositions, and reading cannot be overstated. French education not only encourages joyful learning but also emphasizes the necessity of effort and diligence to achieve success.

This exciting new program will offer junior and senior students a valuable international opportunity to enhance and diversify their academic courses. The BFI aims to enrich students’ educational experience and provide greater recognition of their academic achievements by universities and colleges worldwide.
